Now we’ll make a few additions with the help of the Osnaps. In the lower left, UNCLICK disable all and select these Osnaps instead:

Now we’ll make a few additions with the help of the Osnaps. CLICK the Osnap button at the bottom

and select these Osnaps:

Rectangle Choose:

Now that the Osnaps are on, it will be easy to find the center of a rectangle.

Drawing from the center of the 2nd rectangle you created,

turn the shape into 3 concentric rectangles like this:

Circle Choose:

Drawing from the midpoint (of the line) of the 2nd circle you created and

dragging straight up, turn the shape into a venn diagram

Drawing from the curve endpoint of the same circle (right-hand side) and

dragging straight up, add a third circle to the venn diagram.

Osnaps are really handy when a point doesn’t fall on a grid intersection.

Using:

Create a triangle inside your control point curve.

Two of the corners of the triangle should line up with the midpoints of the curve.

Osnaps will even help you figure out where a fillet ends and a straight line starts.

Using:

Create a shape inside your filleted and chamfered diamond.

Have the shape intersect the points where the fillet ends.

Now lets puteach row of shapes on its own layer. Select the layer panel on the right by clicking the icon below.

Now lets puteach row of shapes on its own layer. Select the layer panel on the right by clicking the tab below.

Double click each layer name and rename as shown below:

Drag the cursor

around the bottom row to select all the shapes.

While the shapes are selected,

right-click (or control click) on Row 1

in the layer palette.

Choose:

From the contextual menu choose:

Change Objects to Layer

Repeat this process and put each row of shapes on the corresponding layer.

The object will take on the preview color for the layer. This can be changed by double clicking the color box next to the layer name. Pick whatever colors you like as long as they are easily visible and look good together : )

Your turn!

Now select the my shapes layer by clicking inside the radio button and highlighting the layer.

On this layer, create a new row of 3 or more shapes.

Create whatever shapes you want out of the tools covered in this tutorial
